I just came back from the trip to Spain and Portugal led by Mei (19 Dec 2018 - 1 Jan 2019). I feel really fortunate to have Mei as our guide. Mei has taken very good care of us, and I truly felt her heart for wanting us to have an enjoyable and memorable trip. Most of all, I love the passion she has for Spain and Portugal. I learnt so much about these countries through her sharing, even though sometimes we may fall asleep on the bus due to tiredness (our bad!) Her passion triggered my interest to find out more about these countries on my own. Thank you Mei, and EU Holidays once again! Hope to travel with Mei again next time.

Joined a tour group led by Mei to Spain & Portugal (19/12/18 - 1/1/19). It’s my first time joining a tour group and despite all the mad rush to different cities every morning, I certainly am glad to have an experienced and caring guide (Mei) to lead us and ensure everyone/everything is well taken care of.Mei is like the mother hen cum information booth cum ‘cause she’s been around and is pretty familiar with the European cities. I’m truly amazed at the depth of her knowledge in the history and culture of the multiple cities and appreciate that she shared with us her experiences and other essential information (that a country bumpkin like myself) we need to know.In a nutshell it’s been an enjoyable trip and it’s like attending a historical field trip overseas. Love the itinerary and wish it could be extended!Kudos to Mei and EU Holidays!

Comprehensive tour to see the whole of Spain and Portugal but could have spent less time outlet shopping mall (4hrs plus too Long) and shopping areas with just the major expensive brands. More shopping in areas where there mix of cheap and expensive brands would be good.Tour manager is very knowledgeable about Europe, she provided us many insights on Spain, Portugal and other European countries. She is very good photographer too, helped us take many post-card photo worthy photos! And she tries her best to customise food and tour for each of us. Thanks very much Rhiny!

This was our 3rd time joining a Europe tour by EU Holidays and had been the best. Special thanks to our Tour Manager, Paul for making this a relaxing holiday.Though he was away in Europe leading another group before ours and will only be able to meet us on the day when we arrive at Barcelona, he got in touch with tour members one week before the departure date.During the tour, he repeatedly reminded us to take care of our belongings. Every night, he whatsapp us a simple itinerary and weather forecast for the next day. He would also inform us that breakfast is ready in the morning, ensure that tables are arranged for big group for breakfast and even give up his own table to tour members as the restaurant is small. He offered to take pictures for us so that we do not have to “wefie”, shared his knowledge on destination that we went and experience on how to avoid jetlag, bought snacks to share with everyone for long journeys, prepared extra coins in case required for toilet stop and organised a mini Xmas party to break the ice within tour members. Before the end of the tour, he held a quiz with prizes to “test” our knowledge. To ensure a smooth process in our VAT claim, he checked every single piece of VAT claim form for all the tour members. One of our tour member’s luggage was delayed, he provided guidance on the insurance claim process though he was still on his way back.Every small unnoticeable act that he has done is to ensure that all of us have a enjoyable and relaxing holiday. Though he has been leading tour groups one after another during this season and ours is the last for the year, he did not show tiredness and always greet us with a smile everyday…. this shows that he has a passion for his job.
